Building a More Connected and Equitable School Community w/ Hector Montenegro
Join me in exploring the design and implementation of a more inclusive and equitable learning community where the talents, skills and gifts of each and every student are explored, developed and shared within a safe and interdependent learning environment that promotes a sense of belonging for all students. Creating conditions for all students to excel requires ongoing communications and collaboration among parents, faculty and staff in moving from an individualistic to a more collectivist learning experience that is aligned to the needs of this post-pandemic generation of children.
